Grandpa had to drive from Iowa to Texas so he could pick up a new horse for the farm. He drives a little faster than Grandma though.
How many miles is it from Iowa to Texas? (HINT: Think about the steps you took to figure out the miles Grandma traveled - use those steps to solve this problem.) It only took him 1 day to drive the distance because he drives 55 miles per hour, no matter what.
We first need to determine how many hours are in one day. We know there are 24 hours in 1 day. It took Grandpa 24 hours to drive the distance from Iowa to Texas.
Now, how many miles is that if he traveled 55 miles per (every) hour? 24 hours x 55 mph = ? 1,320 miles
It is 1,320 miles from Iowa to Texas.
